F P N Google Search

[watch_art]

To help everybody out.

 

FPN Google Search Engine

[terminal]

Great idea! I didn't know you could do that!

 

One suggestion from a little testing is I think you should consider dropping the keywords "fountain pen".

 

Here's an example:

Site only

With Keywords and site

 

Note how "groomsman's gift recommendation" gets eliminated even though it's a valid return (I think(.

[watch_art]

Holy cow I never noticed that!

 

I have no idea how to edit the thing - I just copied and saved it a couple years ago when somebody else posted the link.

[bphollin]

I have a TextExpander snippet (.sfpn) that autofills "site:fountainpennetwork.com " in my browser's Google search field; add the keyword you want to search for and Bob's yer uncle. That "site:..." limits search results to the FPN domain. Same difference as your link above.

[Gcouch]

I just search what I'm looking for on google and put FPN after it. So much more effective than the search function on FPN. This is pretty cool... thanks!

[OakIris]

These are all great ways to expedite searching on FPN via Google since FPN's own search function leaves a bit to be desired. Gcouch's method seems the simplest.

 

Thank you all!

That's a bookmark element.

I find I'm using "[search term] site/fountainpennetwork.com" for my searches so I can search for 2 letter terms here

[ravantra]

Here is another page you can bookmark:

 

FPN Search

[tinta]

Sorry Ravantra, the link you sent won't Bookmark on my system.

When I click on it, as found in your answer on this thread, I can use it "then" & only then.

If I try to bookmark this page & then try to recall it later, it will not be found in my Bookmark list.

Weird!

[mhguda]

watch_art and ravantra: these links no longer work on my system. It takes the search term and tries to load the page, and disappears in limbo... I've tried a number of different search terms. Same result. Is this something to do with my machine or are more people having this problem? It was VERY useful while it lasted...!

Edit: found the culprit, sorry... an adblocking applet was blocking one of the elements. I'll fix it and use this fantastic searcher again. Thanks!

For some strange reason, your link, that I could not for the life of me Bookmark for easy immediate use, actually settled in my Bookmark list.

I hope it stays there for a while.

 

Thanks for this helpful way of checking up on "what was...".

[Mags]

I will give it a try.

[briezrs]

another alternative, inside the google search bar type in"

 

site:fountainpennetwork.com your query

 

eg:

 

site:fountainpennetwork.com lamy safari

[PolarMoonman]

Here is another page you can bookmark:

THANK YOU!!! This is how my searches on FPN go....

Glad to hear all this. I gave up and started using google, but wasn't going to say anything--I just thought I didn't understand how to use the FPN search. I feel better, now

Does anyone has a problem with Google search results returning a page saying, "www.fountainpennetwork.com Driver Error" and "There appears to be an error with the database." ?

I seem to be getting this pretty often with my computer, but going this on my mobile doesn't result in any problems.

I have the same problem (sometimes) on my iPad...

 

 

Edit: added (sometimes) and error message.
